ABC #007: Harry Wright, Benjamin Shibe and Al Reach, Harry Kalas - Play Ball!!

• Professional baseball has a declared Founding Father, Hall of Famer Harry Wright. 
• Since Philadelphia was one of the early cities to adopt the game, sporting goods manufacturers Ben Shibe and Al Reach took advantage of it.
• If you listened to the Phillies on the radio, you knew the unmistakable voice of broadcast announcer Harry Kalas.

 

Wright, Shibe, and Reach are interred at Laurel Hill West, while Kalas is at East.
